The holiday season brings two things every year: record-breaking online shopping⌠and record-breaking cybercrime.
As Cybersecurity Day and Cyber Monday collide, we wanted to remind all of our partners to remember that this is the busiest season for attackers too. Consumers, nonprofits, and SMBs all see a spike in scams and data-theft attempts between now and year-end.
Here are three quick reminders to stay protected:
⢠Double-check before you click.
Fake shopping pages, spoofed donation links, and phishing emails skyrocket during the holidays.
⢠Strengthen your login habits.
Unique passwords and multifactor authentication stop most credential theft attacks cold.
⢠Slow down on âtoo good to be true.â
If a deal, donation request, or invoice feels off, it probably is... Research, research, research.
A little caution keeps your data, your wallet, and your organization safe during the busiest digital season of the year. If your team needs simple, practical cybersecurity guidance, Design Data is always happy to share what we're seeing out there!
